Rates for mobile phone usage?

Just curious, how much you pay fixed fees monthly and how much for calling to other numbers than your own operator's at day time?

I'm paying 3.33€/month and 0.17€/min/all numbers/24x7 and got 10€/month free talking time or sms for next 17 months and 50€ voucher to one of the largest shop chain (ie. department stores, supermarkets, restaurants etc.). I would get better minute rate if I was willing to pay 4-6€ monthly fee but for my use this is better.

Here it's illegal to bundle contract and phone so they have other attractions..

As I don't use the phone as much as I used to, I now have the smallest subscription possible with this company: I pay € 20,- a month.

It doesn't matter whether I use the € 20,- or not; when I go over the rates stay the same and if I stay under, I get to keep the amount I haven't used indefinitely.

Calls to other users with the same provider and all fixed telephone lines are € 0,14 per minute, to other mobile users they're € 0,28 p/m. There are no day/night tariffs.

Quite a lot of that 50€ goes to GPRS, I regularly surf the net with my laptop when I'm on the road.

Monthly subscription € 22.50 150 minutes included.
Minutes roll over to the next month for two months.
In the case I use more minutes as I have left (that occurs almost never) I have to pay € 0.15 a minute.

Mine is pre-paid and I have to charge it up with a total amount of €20 every 3 months. Apart from that, no other costs.

(BTW, my network is TMNand calls cost €0,05 per minute for other TMN numbers, €0,413 if i'm calling fixed phones and €0,524 for other Portuguese mobile networks).

I forgot my GPRS, I pay 10€/month with unlimited usage at night time, 18-06. Daytime usage is expensive due to pricing model of this plan. With this plan there's also possibility to purchase unlimited calls to 1-5 predefined numbers (must be with same operator) for 5€/number/month.

The fixed fee is something like a bit less than 5€/month. Calls are 8c/min to the same operator and 14c/min to other operators.
SMSes are 8c/piece.

I've understood this is the cheapest you get in Finland. Unfortunately they haven't sold these for over a year.
The operator is DNA and this is more specifically an old Telia City number. It has even cheaper prices than it had in the Telia times and it can now be used anywhere in Finland. So, nothing to complain about :)
